The study concerns a safety vision system for human-robot collaborative work environments. The vision system is characteristic of having a freedom from structuring the environment by setting passive markings, i.e. neither painting on the floor nor hanging ...

Relative Contribution Ratios of Skin and Proprioceptive Sensations in Perception of Force Applied to Fingertip
Found in:
IEEE Transactions on Haptics
By Kenya Matsui,Shogo Okamoto,Yoji Yamada
Issue Date:January 2014
pp. 78-85
Humans perceive a force applied to their fingertips by integrating skin and proprioceptive sensations. In this study, we investigated the relative contribution ratios of these sensations using two approaches. Decoupled forces were applied to the finger pad...
